摘要：Tennis is categorized as a complex sporting activity. It is characterised by a large number of different techniques of movement that are mostly performed by maximum speed in a long period of time. Movements consist of re-starting, acceleration and slowing down and rapid changes of direction, of which the outcome of the stroke and the tactical component are in direct dependencies. For this reason the most important and most represented motor skills are starting speed and acceleration as well as quick change of direction. Plyometric method is one of the most effective methods for developing different types of explosive power using eccentric - concentric muscle work. This paper presents the basic features necessary for the implementation of explosive power training-plyometric type. Important information about the anatomic and physiological features, as well as concepts of muscle contraction during plyometric training are often unknown or less important for the implementation of the plyometric training. General guidelines and instructions rely on the anatomicphysiological component of the information when implementing plyometric training. The most interesting provisions of plyometric training processes are the basic features of the program, frequency, volume and intensity. For safe and efficient implementation of training, tennis player must first be subjected to exercise performance testing.
